Corporations War Against America

      In recent months, hundreds of large corporations and financial institutions have shed the facade of who and what they really are. There are many kinds of socialism. Democrat Corporate Socialism is the new western world-wide twenty-first century mantra. The elites have met and their “Great Reset” is now clear. The corporations have been directed by their Socialist minded comrades to rally around liberal causes and even put policies into place making sure to directly target conservative values to reshape their world for maximum profit. Everything conservative is now labeled racist.

      For example, on April 14, hundreds of the largest corporations and financial institutions in the world, including Amazon, Google, Netflix, and Starbucks, signed a statement opposing “discriminatory legislation” i.e. voter identification that aims to make elections more secure. Similarly, Major League Baseball recently announced it’s moving its annual All-Star Game out of Georgia as a protest against the state’s new election requirements that are no more than any normal person would have to produce daily.

      In February, the despicable, but not alone, Coca-Cola company forced employees into radical diversity training that asked them to “try to be less white,” which, according to leaked slides from the presentation, involves being “less oppressive” and requires a “break with white solidarity.” Apparently at Coke solidarity is only for people other than a Caucasian.

      In February and March, the six largest banks in the United States announced they would phase in a net-zero carbon dioxide financing requirement for all of their business operations, effectively making it impossible for fossil-fuel companies—as well as any other business that refuses to “go green”—to secure a loan or benefit from various other financial services at the country’s biggest banks. Many other, smaller banks have also signed on. Why are so many large corporations and financial institutions embracing left-wing causes, alienating tens of millions of conservative Americans in the process? Simple, the elite have their wealth based on new industries in the “green” fields and that requires the destruction of the current fossil industries.

      This is not the old-fashioned kind of backroom dealing between corporate leaders and politicians that we’re all used to. In recent years, dramatic shifts in monetary policy, coupled with greater coordination between bankers, investors, government officials, and corporations, have ushered in an entirely new era of cronyism and the centralization of economic and social decision-making, one that poses significant dangers to individual liberty.

      The recent rapid increase in money-printing that has been pursued by central banks in the United States and Europe, which have increased the money supply by trillions of dollars in just a few years. Future inflation or more likely stagflation cannot be ignored. If this continues, within a few years the wealth of the average person will begin to drop and society as a whole will see more widening of the wealth gap. The ultimate goal is the elimination of the post WWII middle class and a return to a pre-constitutional world.

      One-party ruling officials in the US realize they are now able to spend nearly any amount of money they want without having to raise taxes, and banks learned that they can get a steady stream of newly printed cash from central banks on-demand. These two powerful groups came to the conclusion that they can effectively manage most economic activity without having to pass a slew of new laws, taxes, and restrictions. They only have to demonize the past culture and laws with the help of their left-wing activist comrades.

      They will lie(no surprise) that it is a right-wing conspiracy theory, but the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. In June 2020, the World Economic Forum, working with CEOs and presidents from large corporations, powerful bankers, international institutions, labor union leaders, and activists, launched the “Great Reset,” a plan to overhaul the entire global economy. They met again after installing Mr. Biden at the end of January.

      We know that this is occurring not only because corporations and banks have already started to align with left-wing goals, even though they know it will frustrate large proportions of their customer base, but also because corporations have widely adopted environmental, social, and governance standards, which systematize social justice goals within their businesses. It has been taken to the extreme as we see with the Coca-Cola company spewing reverse racism. Corporations and banks have imposed left-wing social justice policies on society, and they will be rewarded by the Leftist government and central banks who, in turn, will earn large profits from new streams of government-printed cash. “Every country…... must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” wrote Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in an article about the initiative.” How, exactly, will this transformation occur? Exactly as we are seeing it play out now. Ninety-eight percent of large companies in the United States and thousands of companies worldwide already have sustainability reporting systems in place.

      In the past, corporations used to stay out of most political and ideological debates, because alienating huge segments of society is generally not a good recipe for success in a market economy. Corporations are moving to the left for a reason. The Great Reset, like so many other movements in history, is all about money and power—and these days, there’s plenty of both available for ruling-class elites to get their fill.

      When fascism comes, it will come not with jackboots but with promises of a better world. The jackboots come later, when we've all been shamed into silence -- when we've been taught that to allow that with which we disagree is to agree with it, and when we've accepted that the best method of preventing such disagreement is government power. We're on the verge. All it will take is the silence of good people -- people on all sides of the political aisle -- who fall prey to the ultimate temptation in a republic: the temptation to force their values on others utilizing the machinery of government. We're already more than halfway there.
